Come Alive Ecclesiastes
$16.99What genre is Ecclesiastes? Along with Psalms, Proverbs, Job, and Song of Songs, it falls under the category of “Wisdom Literature,” but that term doesn’t really do it justice. It’s part stream-of-consciousness lament, part poetry, part cultural analysis, and part personal tale of woe. Pile on all those descriptors, and I am going to label Ecclesiastes as a memoir of disillusionment that leads to a triumph of faith. (From the author)

Philippians is a coherent whole, written while under house arrest to a motley crew of new believers in need of Paul’s unique brew of tenacity and joy. It hums with hard-won optimism and weather-tested faith.
Colossians is often lost among the greater lights of New Testament epistles. It’s relegated to the status of a biblical also-ran. Yet from its moments of crescendoing Christology to its insights into human psychology, it is the gift that never stops giving and the treasure that never ceases to gleam.

Crash Test Dummies (Student/Study Guide)
$12.99You’ve seen them, haven’t you? They ride in the front seats of expensive cars and drive headlong into a brick wall. And then they do it again. And again. They’re crash test dummies. Why do they keep doing the same dumb thing over and over again? Or maybe a better question is, why do we? In this study on the Book of Judges, author Talbot Davis explores the stories of the judges from the perspective of the Israelite’ repeated failure to be faithful to God alone. Through his creative, quirky angle on the book, Davis highlights how the Israelites in Judges made the same mistake of apostasy over and over again. Each time God delivered them, they eventually fell back into the predictable, tragic pattern. As he explores each judge’s story, Davis invites readers to consider the shape that patterns of sin take in our lives, and how God seeks to free us from them and empower us for faithful living. Readers will come to know the Book of Judges and its central characters more deeply, and they will come to appreciate this biblical book as a source of wisdom for living well. Discussion questions and a practical focus for each week will also accompany each chapter.

Storm Before The Calm
$9.99In this book, Davis addresses life’s turbulent, trying moments by looking at some of Scripture’s most significant “storm stories.” By turning the popular phrase, “the calm before the storm” on its head, The Storm Before the Calm presents a unique take on the significance of life’s storms-grief, job loss, relationship failures, etc.-and how faith in Christ helps us weather them. Davis’s message is clear and challenging: life’s storms prepare us for the calm that follows. Discussion questions at the end of each chapter to help leaders of small groups. Also available when purchasing the book is access to a free Video Trailer and an audio recording of the author’s sermons as another way to experience the weekly message.
